it is often said that tinubu holds sway in the southwest and that he determines who Yoruba's vote for, this is very incorrect and it is an assumption of shallow minded individuals who try to make themselves happy by calling the Yoruba's subservient and slaves to tinubu.

in the six southwestern states, tinubu only has a follower in osun state while in other states, the governors do not obey him. in Ondo state, Akeredolu has a beef with him because tinubu tried to impose his favorite candidate on the state but he failed, in ekiti state, the present governor is a PDP leader while the incoming governor, Kayode fayemi also doesn't obey him, he brought him to politics no doubt but the overbearing nature of tinubu caused their rift, after the 2015 elections that brought buhari to power, it was reported that buhari started moving with fayemi and this got tinubu angry. In Ogun state also, Amosun is not a fan of tinubu despite the proximity of their states, they had a major fight when buhari wanted to appoint the finance minister, tinubu wanted wale edun while amosun wanted Adeosun, we all know the one that was picked.
In Oyo state, Ajimobi and tinubu aren't pals also because ajimobi can't stand being a puppet to a fellow APC member.

Tinubu only looks like he dictates for Yoruba because of Lagos' voting figures, in terms of control over states, he isn't a dictator.


the victory of APC in the southwest may have been credited to tinubu but deeply, it was because the Yoruba's were tired of Jonathan because the Yoruba didn't gain anything tangible and also the prospect of having the VP also made APC win 5 out of 6 states.

Though powerful, his end is near

In a state in which APC enjoys power of incumbency both at the state and FG level, yet they could 'lose' based on the number of valid votes, it's a big shame. You didn't pay salaries and expect people to vote for your party, wicked leader, APC supporters will have heart attack in the re-run results, Power belongs to the people

I think so too but 2023 will determine that, if buhari wins reelection, he may forget tinubu and by 2023, he would work hard to pick a new Lagos governor without tinubu,s support, fashola may become the next godfather, ambode may also be used to end his reign

Children analysis

Tinubu you're hearing did not started in 2015. Tinubu na old meat so hold your bitter analysis.

stories. this story wouldn't have come up if APC won the osun election without the rerun.

anybody jubilating that PDP wil coast to victory in Osun is jst dreaming. let PDP prepare to go to tribunal after thursday, PDP wil not smell that government house. whether by hook or crook APC wil be declared winner

I am an APC member but the truth must be told, the only reason why tinubu is respected is Lagos, Lagos state has a large voting capacity and winning it is a very good leap to becoming president


ambode maybe tinubu's death. The Abuja caucus are building their strength and after the 2019 elections, they will start his fall

You're right on this. Even I as a person, I will vote for Ambode regardless of the party that present him.

Good observations and comments.

Accept or not. The more reason why we are enjoying Lagos today and other states are using Lagos State as a benchmark is because of quality leaders than govern the state which can be ascribed to Sen. Bola Tinibu.

Many incumbent, past and incoming state governors are still taking a advise from him in bourdillion every now and then.

You may not like him but he understand the game and is leadership style is always reckon with.
